    Bed question

    Actually, if I'm reading this correctly, LMC has them. I do not remember seeing fuel allowance on both sides last time I looked. Guess I can make a dual tank stepper knock-down kit... Nope. I’m reading it wrong. Literally says “without fuel hole.” I’m an idiot. Never mind.

    I think the post above mine answered my question. lol

    Bed question

    Early trucks had exposed gas caps. Later trucks had them behind fuel doors. So is that different on steppers? If not, was there an overlap where they switched sides with exposed caps, or had the door before the change in sides?

    Bed question

    Makes sense. As I understand it, short bed fleetsides with dual tanks are kind of an oddity, so I can imagine stepsides were just that much rarer.

    Bed question

    Hey, all. My Big 10 has a 6.5' fleetside bed, but I really love the look of a stepside. I know I can swap over, and I know many of the vendors our there sell everything I need to build my own stepside from scratch. Here's my issue: my truck is dual tank, and I intend to keep it that way. But as...

    Ruh roh Raggy! I hear you knocking…

    I'd guess coincidence. My issue was caused because they changed the clutch and flywheel, so they had all that apart.

    Help ID-ing and sourcing a part

    @squaredeal91 No, I don’t have pics as I have not started the job yet. I want to make sure I have the parts before I start the job. However, @legopnuematic did indeed find the part I’m looking for. I’m not a huge fan that they seem to no longer be available… Do y’all know of a workaround if I...

    Help ID-ing and sourcing a part

    Hey all. I just noticed the rubber of my driveshaft center support bearing is shot. Before it gets any worse, I should probably fix that. The truck is a 78 short bed with a 350, a Muncie SM465, and a 12-bolt. While doing some YouTube research on how that’s done, I’m seeing there is some sort of...

    It was the inspection cover or something inside the bell housing. All I know is it was a quick fix.

    Ruh roh Raggy! I hear you knocking…

    I put on a new Holley Q-jet and had her running pretty well. Just needed some fine tuning. Then the ignition switch disintegrated. All of the plastic in this truck is JUNK. Now that I have some money and it’s not hotter than the fires of damnation, I’ll probably get out there and swap out the...

    Nope. Muncie 4-speed. And it was the inspection cover.

    He had you add a fuel regulator on a carb? I would suspect a needle and seat or a float if a carb is flooding, unless you added an electronic fuel pump with a higher output that the mechanical pumps. If you are using a mechanical pump, the needle and seat should be enough to stop fuel flow, as...

    Sliding rear window gasket?

    So the aluminum brightwork window in the Big10 there at the bottom is dealer option style? That looks like what mine has.
